A man who waits to believe in action before acting is anything you like, but he's not a man of action. You must act as you breathe. (Quote by - Georges Clemenceau)
A long, exact, and serious comedy; In every scene some moral let it teach, And, if it can, at once both please and preach. (Quote by - Alexander Pope)

Farce follow'd Comedy, and reach'd her prime. In ever-laughing Foote's fantastic time; Mad wag! who pardon'd none, nor spared the best, And turn'd some very serious things to jest. Nor church nor state escaped his public sneers, Arms nor the gown, priests, lawyers, volunteers; "Alas, poor Yorick!" now forever mute! Whoever loves a laugh must sigh for Foote. We smile, perforce, when histrionic scenes Ape the swoln dialogue of kings and queens, When "Chrononhotonthelogos must die," And Arthur struts in mimic majesty. (Quote by - Lord Byron)
